On Monday 6th February, students studying Business Studies in Year 11 took part in the ‘Stock Market Challenge’.  Essentially, this is a trading game in which pupils must buy or sell shares in fictional companies. In the competition, they had the opportunity to apply their Mathematics and Business skills in a unique competitive challenge. This is an online event for Year 11 students from across Northern Ireland.
